I’m on NECN’s NewsNight (hosted by Chet Curtis, filling in for Jim Braude) again tonight. Also appearing is the Globe’s political editor, David Dahl, and Matt Margolis, of the differently-winged HubPolitics.
Show starts at 7 pm. Should be interesting!
Please share widely!
If you get a chance, plug an Independent Review of the Big Dig!
I think you’d win any gravitas-off hands down.
if anyone can easily tell me the ballpark figure for having Tivo, that’d be great–maybe next time I can record David on NECN! (just got my 2 kids to bed so couldn’t have turned the set on earlier anyhow…)

and David, in a belated reply to your and another person’s scepticism re my comment about youth violence and creation of a universal healthcare system, I was speaking of the multifactoral issues that impact violent behavior.

And yes, I’ll stand by the notion that having an actual healthcare system, rather than the disease-cure model that dominates at present, would help to address the underlying causes that contribute to the current escalation of youth violence.

I mentioned before, Dr Deborah Prothrow Stith ‘s work is a resource to back up this assertion; here’s an excerpt from the link to her: “As a physician working in inner-city Boston, she broke new ground with her efforts to have youth violence defined as a public health problem; not just a criminal justice issue. Her passion for prevention was not satisfied with the emergency room work of stitching people up and sending them out.
i missed the begining but caught the second segment. funny how chet asked the hub politics guy about lamont/lieberman first.
Saw the whole thing, and you both did a good job. Got a kind of psychic boost in having the Globe blogger treated the same as Matt and David.
